Hello everyone! I nearly sold these as AU, but took a double take and realize I might be mistaken. Curious to what your thoughts are 1920 1c Canada   1921 1c Canada   1929 1c Canada   1936 1c Canada   As always, much appreciated, Gregary P.S. For those who are as interested in photography as me, I shot these pictures with a Canon T2i and Canon 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens |

I'd say only the 1936 looks MS as the rest are too baggy for me to be more than AUs. IMO the 1920 looks like it's been cleaned. Nice looking coins overall.

21 , 29 and 36 look real nice . The 1920 looks like it has been played with at one time. Excellent pix and nice lot.

 great pics! I need me a macro lens. I've got a Canon 6D (my wife's) and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to take pictures with it. |

Those all in the ms 63-64 range imo, beauties! Reverse die on the 1936 almost looks specimen, "n" in Canada inparticular, square devices and sharpness compared to the others.

Thanks AgHoarder, Pacificoin and Alan!
I find it personally so difficult, as I'm decent at grading coins in general (silently testing myself in the grading section of the forums) But when they're borderline MS or have something that looks like slight wear, very tough.
The colours and tones on these ones are really varied and trick me haha

I would faint if the 1936 is a specimen, as I cannot find any examples in history other than the 1936 dot  I cant figure out what it is, as the texture is very different from the others. |

They do have nice color, very nice looking pennies. I've always been a fan older copper that's anything but bright red. I used to have some really nice uncirculated raw matched brown/bluish examples from that series. I traded them for a premium over book because a fair amount of work went into finding them, and they all looked great beside each other. I find the reverse on the 36 interesting when comparing devices, not a specimen, but almost has that effect. Have fun enjoying these, they're nice!

I'd have to say AU for all, maybe a MS 62 for the 1936. They are beauties but I do see wear.

Thank you everyone!
I thought I was going to go crazy after looking at 200+ pennies under a loupe that day.
Much appreciated

The 1920 looks artificially toned, the others look high AU with the '36 maybe low mint state.
